FAQ
Why convert BMP to GIF?
GIF dramatically reduces file sizes compared to uncompressed BMP, and is universally supported. It's great for simple graphics, logos, and icons with limited colors.
Will I lose image quality?
GIF is limited to 256 colors. For simple graphics this is usually fine, but photographs or images with gradients may show visible color banding.
Does GIF support transparency?
Yes, GIF supports basic transparency where pixels are either fully transparent or fully opaque. It doesn't support partial transparency like PNG.
Is GIF good for photographs?
No. GIF's 256-color limit makes it poor for photographs. For photos, consider converting to JPG or WebP instead.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
